Winter's Verge - Spring Of Life lyrics

rate me

I once heard a story, a young boy I was, <br />

About living forever, free like the wolves, <br />

A spring clothed in magic, where no man or beast, <br />

Would suffer life's curse, every living being's dream<br />

<br />

The Rivers and mountains, the caves and the swamps<br />

A neverending journey, described in the map, <br />

My dream is a myth, a legend a tale<br />

To find the source, life's secret unveiled.<br />

<br />

This secret, this curse, this wonder, this lie, <br />

A truth in the myth, or just in our minds, <br />

Where words like forever, true meanings derive, <br />

The purest of elements, the spring of life<br />

<br />

I set out to find it, no matter the cost, <br />

Through forests and valleys, the dangers I crossed, <br />

The darkness was my enemy, the light was my foe<br />

But if the map was not real, this I don't know.<br />

<br />

There deep in the forest, a cave was exposed, <br />

The doorway was silver, the walls made of gold, <br />

I walked down the pathway, with chills up my spine, <br />

As there was the fountain, the gem of mankind.<br />

<br />

This secret, this curse, this wonder, this lie, <br />

A truth in the myth, or just in our minds, <br />

Where words like forever, true meanings derive, <br />

The purest of elements, the spring of life<br />

<br />

Before I would drink, a thought came to mind, <br />

The fountain of blessing, or ash to my eyes, <br />

Surely an honor, but think I did once, <br />

As now at three hundred, this curse I entwine... <br />

<br />

This secret, this curse, this wonder, this lie, <br />

A truth in the myth, or just in our minds, <br />

Where words like forever, true meanings derive, <br />

The purest of elements, the spring of life
